Chapter 637: The Brave Wins When They Meet on a Narrow Road

If it weren't for the fact that Liangshan was forced to be poor, Arutai would never have thought of such a risky gamble.

In April, he was defeated under the iron hooves of the Tuhuan army, not to mention that the former lost Helin had no hope, and it became difficult to live on the original territory. He had to lead his tribe to the east in a hurry, and entered the territory of the Uliangha people in embarrassment. If it weren't for Tuhuan having to return to the division because of the restraint of the other two departments, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to find a place to stay. If you can't survive this winter, if you can't make a difference by taking advantage of the moment to focus on settling down, then not only will you be defeated, but your wife and children will all be scattered, and the name of Arutai will be a thing of the past forever.

At this moment, there are no more than 10,000 people under his command. Even such an army, which is far inferior to the time when he won the game, is already all the team he has put together. He calculated that Zhu Di would definitely pursue him personally when he heard that there was a change in Daning, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and he missed the best opportunity to outflank the Wuliangha people before and after. However, he had already run with his tail between his legs, and if he ran again, all the tribes that had surrendered to him as a master might never be able to gather again!

Although they galloped all night and had just fought a fierce battle, in the face of another fierce battle that was coming, the Ming army was excited. This is not only because of the reward order that suddenly spread throughout the army, but also because Zhu Di, who is the Son of Heaven, is also in the army. The soldiers in the 3,000 battalion were originally based on the elite cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei, but over the years, they have gradually been replaced by the elite selected by the various divisions, and the army of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is mostly young and strong who have fled back from captivity. All of them were soldiers of a hundred battles who had gone through at least two northern expeditions, and there were even officers who participated in the first battle of Baigou River during the Jingjing.

Zhu Di galloped on his horse with one hand and held the war knife in the other. Just now he personally slashed and killed two people, and at this moment, Zhu Di's right hand holding the war knife was already a little unable to lift. It was only then that he clearly felt that he was old. However, this realization couldn't help the boiling blood in his heart, and he thought of what he said to Ningyang Hou Chen Mao before he attacked.

"I heard that there is a beautiful girl in your family, and this time the battle is won, and after the class, I will be a concubine!"

He can still fight, he can still accept concubines, and he is still the undefeated Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty who has dominated the world for many years!

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

The morale of the Ming army was high because the emperor personally led the troops to attack, and the Tatar army also screamed because of the oath of Arutai before the departure. When the two armies collided violently, the front army suddenly turned on their backs, and the momentum was more than double that of the first battle. No matter who you are, in the face of an oncoming enemy, you can only use instinctive reactions, stabbing, slashing, slashing, and sweeping...... The eyes of countless people gradually turned blood-red, and the killing actions became swift and concise.

Zhang Yue was already instinctively following the emperor. At the beginning, he could still think about whether Songting Pass, who got the news, would send reinforcements, and whether Zhang Fu, who was still in Daning, could seize the opportunity to arrive, but as the pressure increased, he couldn't care about those for a long time. If it weren't for Niu Dare Zhang Bu's brave rescue, he might have to have a few more holes in his body. He knew very well that he could hold on to the battle on the ground for a while, but the level of the horse battle was far from what he could afford.

Did the emperor have long expected that there would be such a fight, so he left Yang Rongjin Youzi?

"Little ...... Little Zhang! ”

In the midst of the chaos, he heard such a voice, so he raised his eyes and saw the embarrassed Hai Shou riding a horse approaching, and he hurriedly ordered Niu Dare to answer. I saw that Hai Shou Zhou was covered in blood, and I didn't know if it was on my own body or the enemy's body. After only delaying for a short time, he found that a group of guards, Liu Pu and others had already hugged the emperor and left the distance, and hurriedly chased after him. But where is it so easy to rush left and right in the chaotic army, only for a while, he found that there were fierce battles in all directions, where could he still find the emperor? Glancing at Hai Shou, whose face was like earth, he almost subconsciously raised his hand to split, and it was like a god helping to slash a stray arrow.

Suddenly, there were several screams in front of me, and immediately after, I saw a few Mongols break out of the battle and rush towards them viciously. Even at this time, Zhang Yue still habitually glanced at the other party. Seeing that the leader was wearing leather armor, as if he was no different from an ordinary soldier, with a large bow hanging on one side of the horse, and a high saber in his right hand, and almost everyone behind him was dressed in the same attire. However, before Zhang Bu and the others stepped forward to intercept, two Ming army men with maces suddenly rushed out from behind them, and smashed them at the last two with a loud shout.

Taking advantage of the fact that those people were entangled, Zhang Yue didn't care about anything else, and saw a direction and galloped out. Although there is Zhang Bu spear in front of the breakthrough, it is indestructible, but the cold arrows in all directions still make them overwhelmed, and when it is easy to stand out, Zhang Yue is already covered in blood, Haishou's robe is no longer able to see its true colors, Zhang Bu, who opened the way in front of his head, is covered with blood, and the others are not much better. Just as they were dealing with the scattered enemies and looking for people in all directions, the sharp-eyed Niu Dare suddenly saw the movement in the sky, so he shouted.

"There's a big army coming over there!"

Zhang Yue hurriedly looked over at this time. Although his eyesight was excellent, there was a battlefield of swords flying next to him, and the banner was too far away for him to see clearly. Anxious, Zhang Bu stepped forward to remind him that it was the northeast, and he suddenly had an idea and shouted: "The British princess is here!" ”

"The British Duke is leading troops to help, long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

Although Hai Shou was not lightly injured, he was extremely clever at this moment, and instinctively tore his throat and called. When he first entered the palace, he was an official of the Fengtianmen Dynasty, and coupled with the characteristics of a eunuch, this voice was naturally sharp and bright. In addition, Niu Dare Zhang Bu and the other four people shouted loudly in unison, and the Ming soldiers in the battle formation were naturally a hundred times more energetic, and I don't know how many people shouted along with them. For a moment, the loud shouts drowned out the sound of fighting and horses' hooves.

Suddenly, in the midst of the large army coming from the east, a group of men and horses galloped over first, and a large banner in front of them was impressively written. Seeing that he was only a hundred paces away from the fierce battle array, the man at the head opened his bow and shot continuously, and every bow sound must have a person fall from his horse, and when he put down his bow and arrows, drew his saber and rushed into the battle array, a bag of arrows was completely shot out. Although there were only more than 100 people behind him, this group of people and horses drilled into it like a wedge, and everywhere they went, there were people on their backs.

When he saw the word Zhang clearly, Zhang Yue knew that he had made the right bet. When the group of men and horses rushed closer, he immediately recognized the leader of the army, and there was no hesitation at the moment, taking advantage of them rushing into the formation, he hurriedly followed behind with Zhang Bu and others. Although Haishou said that the injury was not light, he knew that he had to find the emperor at this time, so he could only grit his teeth and follow.

Although these more than 100 cavalrymen are few, they are an unstoppable force, and under the rush from left to right, they actually tore out several big holes in the battle formation. If only these people were enough, but many Mongols saw a large number of cavalry in the rear marching neatly, and their fighting spirit was greatly reduced for a while.

Arutai, who was wearing leather armor and carrying a big bow, was looking for Zhu Di everywhere, and when he heard the continuous shouting, he knew that it was not good, and at this moment, seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, his heart suddenly sank.

He has already sent suspicious soldiers to disturb Songting Pass, Malanyu Pass, Gubeikou and other places, and he will definitely be able to delay for a while; The unfinished Daning City has the soldiers and horses of the Wuliangha people, and it may not know the news that the Ming Emperor has arrived; Besides, Zhang Fu is cautious, how could he rashly abandon the city and attack? However, at this time, it is clear that people have come!

At this time, Abu only came over with a small group of people and horses in a hurry, his face was mixed with blood and sweat, and he could hardly see the true colors of the whole person. He wiped his face angrily and shouted loudly: "Abba, we can't fight anymore, the Ming army is very difficult, and once the reinforcements arrive, we won't be able to keep this last bit of capital!" ”

"Wait a minute, as long as it takes a while, maybe you can behead Emperor Ming under the horse!"

"Master, we can't wait any longer!" Seleben, who had been following Arutai closely, also stepped forward at this time, and grabbed Arutai's reins, "Adaitaiji has already run away, and his Darhans have also run away with him, and as soon as the people of the Korqin tribe leave, we will be alone!" Taishi, I haven't found that emperor after fighting for so long just now, that's the providence of the Immortal Heaven! Besides, maybe the Ming Emperor is dead, but we just don't know! ”

"Providence ...... Immortality"

Muttering a word, Arutai, who had aged much since the death of his eldest son, could only clench his fists. The news he got was very accurate, but he couldn't grasp the best timing, if he could have come one step earlier, if the Wuliangha people were more competitive, if Zhu Di was not easy to obey and Yi Guanming, he would not have been able to recognize it in the team...... The problem is that there are no ifs in this world! Of course, it is highly likely that the emperor is dead, as Seleben said!

"Okay, withdraw the troops! Retreat to the north, in case that little beast from the Zoros tribe picks up! ”

The sound of retreat sounded from the desolate trumpet, and the enemy, who had no intention of fighting, saw that the reinforcements were getting closer and closer, and they retreated very quickly. At this time, the leader of the reinforcement forwards, who had just fought a fierce battle in the formation, led the army to break out, and then turned around to Zhang Yue and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Less...... Lord Zhang, since you are here, could it be that the emperor personally led the army to attack? ”

Facing Peng Shisan, an acquaintance who couldn't be more familiar, Zhang Yue tugged at the corners of his mouth and wanted to smile back, but finally found that his face was already stiff. Swallowing hard, he said: "That's right, the emperor learned that a large army had committed Daning, and selected 5,000 elite soldiers to rush overnight, first fighting with the Uliangha people, and just now fighting with Arutai. It's just that in the melee, the emperor and I were separated. ”

Even if Peng Shisantian was not afraid, his face changed all of a sudden at this time: "The British thought that the enemy was feint to attack Daning, and they were worried that the emperor would personally go out, so while leading the troops to retreat from the enemy, he asked Commander Zhou to lead the army to rush to the Kuanhe River in Huizhou with me, and find out the news by the way." The most important thing now is to find the emperor, and I will immediately lead someone to search the battlefield......"

Zhang Yue, who was physically and mentally exhausted, was about to nod, when he suddenly saw a figure appear on a raised hillock not far away. Seeing that the figure in a bright yellow coat was leading the horse and holding the saber high under the support of several entourages, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Peng Shisan, who happened to turn his head to look over: "It seems that there is no need for it, the emperor is there!" ”

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

At this moment, I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and there were shouts one after another all around, and in an instant, more people joined the cheering team. The sound of mountains and tsunamis resounded in the sky, countless weapons were raised high, and thousands of people were jubilant. Seeing this scene, even Peng Shisan instinctively clasped his palms together and said thank God, and then wiped the cold sweat that had just appeared on his forehead.

Although Zhang Yue already felt completely relieved at this time, he still called Peng Shisan and the others to catch up. Zongma galloped up the hill in one go, and he found that although Zhu Di's bright yellow coat was bright, it was already a mess on the battle armor, and he couldn't tell whether he was injured at all. And the guards behind this Son of Heaven are already only half left, all of them are embarrassed, although Liu Pu and other noble children are still complete, they can no longer see their true colors on their faces. Liu Sheng and Chen Mao, who arrived almost at the same time as him, were also covered in blood, and Chen Mao's saber was even covered with blood.

In the fight just now, although Zhu Di did not have any major damage, he was already exhausted. At this time, seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, and seeing someone come forward to salute, he couldn't help but look at it for a while, and then he recognized the person in charge. At this moment, his throat was very dry, so he waved his hand casually, and beckoned Peng Shisan to step forward.

"How's the battle going in Daning?"

"Returning to the emperor, the British Duke personally sits in Daning, and there is no danger of loss." Although he arrived in time, Peng Shisan did not expect that the emperor would really lead the army to arrive in person, knowing that the current situation of this reinforcement needed to be explained to the emperor clearly, so he immediately said carefully, "The British Duke heard from Fuyuwei that many of the leaders of the three guards colluded with Arutai, and I am afraid that something will change. Because most of the soldiers in Daning City were foot soldiers and Tuntian soldiers, and their combat strength was limited, the British Duke sent all the cavalry to Zhou Command, and dispatched a lot of Tuntian soldiers to ride horses to strengthen their momentum, and ordered villains to be the vanguard. ”

The elite cavalry in the three guards of Daning had already been incorporated into the 3,000 battalions of the Beijing camp and the imperial horse supervisor, so how much combat power the Daning cavalry has now, Zhu Di naturally knew in his heart, and he understood why Peng Shisan only led more than 100 people to assault, and the rest slowed down their horses. Seeing that another general had arrived with his troops, he rolled down from his saddle and stepped forward to salute, and he was about to give a strong fight, but his head was drowsy, and he almost involuntarily let go of the reins in his hand.

At that moment, he suddenly tightened the reins again, but the feeling of weakness and powerlessness still spread throughout his body.
